Accident appears to have occurred between CNIC's Freeport and Chicago subdivisions, and due to cars blocking the Metra tracks at 16th St., all AM rush hour service was annulled on Metra's Rock Island district, while additional emergency trains were added to the SWS, HC, and electric districts. Metra's website indicates that it was a coal train that derailed. Any more info on this?
